Market and strategy Global development of wind power Increased international demand for renewable energy is based on: Growing population = Increasing demand for energy Scarcity of fossil fuels Prevention of CO 2 emissions Security of supply Wind energy is the most technologically advanced of these and the most economically efficient technology Double-digit growth rates forecasted until 2015 (CAGR 2010-2015: 18.2%) PNE WIND II 23
Market and strategy Offshore Europe and Germany Offshore wind energy as a key growth driver for national and international wind energy markets 40,000 MW installed wind power capacity by 2020 as a target to achieve climate objectives of the EU Objective of the German Federal Government: installed offshore capacity of 25,000 MW by the year 2030 PNE WIND II 24
Market and strategy Wind power in Germany: Status quo and forecast Energy Concept 2050 The German Federal Government adopted the Energy Concept 2050 in September 2010 Key points of the Energy Concept: 1. Promotion of offshore wind energy by special credit program with a volume of 5 billion 2. Identification of additional sites to be designated for onshore wind farm construction and operation 3. The expansion of onshore wind through adopting more favourable terms for extending the lives of existing wind farms (repowering): - Essential factor for the further development of wind energy - By the end of 2010, 779 old plants with 331 MW capacity were removed and replaced with 431 modern units with a total nominal output of 896 MW, in the first half year 2010 an additional 13 modern plants were installed with a total output of 42 MW - For repowering experts predict a potential total installed capacity of around 30,990 MW by 2020 Source: BMU (Energy Concept 2050); DEWI, 2011; KPMG study, 2009 PNE WIND II 25
